    The question is outdated, non of the volumes can hit the maximum IOPS. The PIOPS vol range is from 4 GB to 16 TB now, with maximum of 20,000 iops per vol.

    Ans should be 400. Its updated to 50:1 now

    An io1 volume can range in size from 4 GiB to 16 TiB and you can provision up to 20,000 IOPS per volume. The maximum ratio of provisioned IOPS to requested volume size (in GiB) is 50:1. For example, a 100 GiB volume can be provisioned with up to 5,000 IOPS. Any volume 400 GiB in size or greater allows provisioning up to the 20,000 IOPS maximum.
